The Horniman’s first pledge is to deliver: ‘An ambitious Nature + Love project to redisplay the natural history and living collections, to highlight climate and ecological issues to a wider audience’.

In the wake of the pandemic, the Horniman has revisited its long terms plans and outlined a Reset Agenda, with a number of priorities which are:
